Liberal internationalism provided a powerful way of theorising and imagining international relations, and it dominated well-informed political discourse at a time when Britain was the most powerful country in the world. Its proponents focused on securing progress, generating order and enacting justice in international affairs. Liberal internationalism united a diverse group of intellectuals and public figures, and it left a lasting legacy in the twentieth century. This book elucidates the roots, trajectory, and diversity of liberal internationalism, focusing in particular on three intellectual languages -- international law, philosophy and history -- through which it was promulgated. Finally, it traces the impact of these ideas across the defining moment of the First World War. The liberal internationalist vision of the late-nineteenth century remained popular well into the twentieth century and forms an important backdrop to the development of the academic study of International Relations in Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47891542671511,"sku":"9780719079092","price":8808.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780719079092.webp?v=1781184055","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/british-liberal-internationalism-1880-1930-making-progress-9780719079092","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
